Pythagorean is absolutely correct. Philosophy, in the sense of making an attempt to clarify and articulate one's thinking, of seeking different perspectives with a open mind, and engaging in authentic discussion or debate with Others, is open to any person whether they wish to call themselves (or be called by others) philosophers or not.
Welcome to Philforum!

Hello, welcome to the forum. Non-professional insight is helpful; one could say it is more original. It doesn't take a large knowledge of philosophy to practice it, only enthusiasm and creativity. Glad to have you join.
